Alaska Airlines from Bellingham International Airport to Honolulu

Oh, darling, let me let you in on a little secret. If you're itching to exchange freezing Bellingham for sunny Honolulu, and because frankly who wouldn’t be, book a flight with Alaska Airlines. Yes, you heard me right: Alaska, where the state bird should be the mosquito and the sunset doesn't happen until next Tuesday. Surely, this arctic wonderland knows a thing or two about flying to paradise!

But where to begin? Well, the answer is quite obvious: airfare. Why waste away in Bellingham when the tantalizing prospect of Aloha shirts and hula dances beckons? An absolute robbery, that's all I can call it when Alaska Airlines has the nerve to charge you something so trivial to whisk you away to bliss. They're practically ruthless philanthropists.

Of course, you might think me a chatterbox, but let me introduce you to the concept of direct flights. As the term implies, it's the quickest, most efficient way to travel, bar installing angel wings on your back. Alaska Airlines provides numerous non-stop flights from Bellingham to Honolulu. It will be the worst 6 hours and 5 minutes of your life, no doubt. Who wants to sit back in comfort with in-flight services like entertainment, delightful snacks, and drinks while flying over the vast, monotonous Pacific Ocean?

But hang on there. Don’t be too quick to paint Alaska Airlines in just grey and grizzly. They aren’t all just no-nonsense practicality. Are you a regular jetsetter? Fan of those membership cards that flood most of our wallets? Then welcome to the Club, or rather, to the Mileage Program, Alaska Airlines endows its frequent flyers with superfluous perks and benefits. Because who needs extra air miles, priority boarding or free lounge access anyway? Ugh!

At this point, I can almost hear your mind working over the logistics. The baggage allowance, et al. Surely, you're kidding yourself. Alaska Airlines has complimentary carry-on baggage allowance and one personal item. Could they be any more generous? Watch out, those pilots will be helping you put your luggage into the overhead compartments next! However, if you've decided to empty your entire wardrobe, or maybe you are moving, feel free to check in your bags for a teeny-tiny fee. What else did you expect? This is a flight to Honolulu, not a mobile wardrobe service!

If you are still on the fence about the most mundane details like the ‘best time to book’ a flight, take a breath. Maybe two. Alaska Airlines is oh-so-terribly predictable with its flight schedule from Bellingham International Airport to Honolulu. Steady as a grandfather’s clock they are, with their daily departures. How dull! Just when unpredictability could have been the newest trend and surprise early morning flights could have been all the rage!

We could always add some variety, what do you say? A red-eye flight, or a layover in some random city? Or do you prefer round-trip over one-way - because coming back from Honolulu is everyone's dream, isn't it? Surely, those pristine beaches, tropical weather and vibrant culture couldn't compare to a chilly Bellingham evening.

Before I leave you to bask in the euphoria of your upcoming adventure, here’s a tidbit to chew over. Did you know, Alaska is the only state that can be typed on one line of the QWERTY keyboard? Unimportant and unrelated, yes. But who knows, this trivia might save you on a jeopardy round someday. Or make you the king/queen of a Hawaiian trivia night.

There you have it. All the nitty-gritty, bore-to-death details about flying from Bellingham International Airport to Honolulu on Alaska Airlines. An arduous ordeal, really. With all the benefits, convenience and the fact you get to escape to paradise, it certainly sounds like an absolute chore.
